Bernie Madoff Feels Like a Human Piñata

In his second interview with the New York Times, two years after he was sentenced to 150 years behind bars, Bernie Madoff laments his jail sentence, using a suddenly vibrant diction — improved, perhaps, from all that time he’s spent sitting in jail already, reading andwhatnot:

Explain to me who else has received a sentence like that. I mean, serial killers get a death sentence, but that’s virtually what he gave me. I’m surprised [Federal Judge Denny Chin] didn’t suggest stoning in the public square. He made me the human piñata of Wall Street, while financial firms and government officials walk away free.
